Statutory Corporate Income Tax Rate, 2002

2002, as OECD’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The statutory corporate income tax rate is the headline rate a country’s law sets on company profits, with state, provincial and local corporate taxes added to the national rate where they exist. It is the number quoted in debates about tax competition — the starting point, not the end, of what companies actually pay.

Statutory Corporate Income Tax Rate, 2002 covers 142 countries on 2 measures. Aruba is highest, at 49.5; 15 countries share the lowest reading, 0.0. The middle country reads 30.0. Against 2001, 30 values changed (6 up, 24 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from OECD’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2002.

  • 43 distinct values among 142

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 6 decimals. 23 countries share 30.0. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 142 countries has every column.
